bzimport set Reference to bz52561.

Cryptic stated in the original bug report "Some testing shows that this is universal (Firefox/Vector, Opera/Vector, Safari/Monobook)". From other bug reports of theirs I believe that they run Windows 7.

I have not been able to reproduce this in Firefox 22 on Xubuntu linux using Monobook. The toolbar button depresses as if it were going to apply its function, but nothing actually happens.

After clarification I have done more testing and found that I can't reproduce this when any text is selected (including text in a table), but I can if the selection is exclusively an image or template (including an image in table).

Further Cryptic C62 uses Windows Vista not Windows 7.

Does this still occur for anyone?
Using the version of VE currently live on en.wp in Firefox 24/monobook/Linux I can't reproduce this at all, not even the way I could in comment 2

I cant reproduce any combination supported on Linux, or Firefox/Windows/monobook.
